East Jerusalem demolition orders placed on registered properties

BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:30 P.M.) –The East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Issawiya was forcefully entered by Israeli authorities this Tuesday as they posted up demolition orders on the properties of several residents.

One witness and resident of Issawiya village, Abu al-Hummus, told Maan News reporters that the Israeli forces raided the village, posting up demolition orders on homes of some provably registered houses as well as other properties.

According to the Jerusalem municipality permits for buildings are granted at a significantly lower rate for Arabs and can prove near impossible to attain for most Palestinians.
